I can't repair Error 1907 on my Word (Office 2010) in Win7. Why?

My OS is Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit. Issue is created by Word (MS Office Home & Student 2010 SP1, 32-bit) although it worked OK on  WinXP.

When I click on the Word 2010 icon, the Word splash screen shows up for a moment and immediately is replaced with Window with MS Office Configuration progress. After 2/3 of the length of the progression bar the warning: 'Error 1907, Could not register font' is issued. The only working option there, is Abort that causes rolling back changes. 

I've tried to: 
1. Repair the installation from Programs and Features - no changes 
2. Scan system files with sfc /scannow - no problems found 
3. Substitute the Windows fonts with fonts from my MS Office 2010 installation DVD disk, which I failed, as I was unable to locate the .cab files with fonts on my MS Office installation disk. More specifically, I was unable to find PropPSww*.cab files suggested by some helpers on this forum, and the owow64ww.cab file after decompression didn't show any .ttf files. 

I don't know what to do further. Please help

Hi Deepa,

Thanks for your response and the link to a similar problem, which I apparently overlooked.

I tried to follow advice of Raju from this link but am not absolutely sure if I did what he suggested. The reasons are:

1. In the location he mentioned, I don't have the fntcache.dat file at all

2. Instead, I have 7 different font cache files, e.g.: FontCache-System.dat and FontCache-FotFace.dat

My guess was that the required one was FontCache3.0.0.0.dat. I renamed it to .old and clicked on MS Word 2010 in my Start|Programs|MS Office 2010. Unfortunately, this procedure didn't resolve my issue. Then I rebooted the computer and restarted MS Word 2010 with the same result.

Next, I checked Errors in Manage|Event Viewer|Custom View| Administrative Events. The one of interest I'm displaying below:

"Event 11907, MsiInstaller
Product: Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 - Error 1907. Could not register font. Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports that file".
In the Details section, I found extra info, which I'm enclosing, as copied text below:.

"Log Name:      Application

I hope it might be of some use to you.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to find the font(s) causing this Error

Best regards,
Andrew
